    Powerbook 1400 Serial MIDI switching

    133, so not the best but much better than the 117.

    Powerbook 1400 Serial MIDI switching

    2.5 should work fine, but I've already confirmed it works with Alchemy. The system is too complete to roll back to a previous OS, but it's never worked with any interface so I do agree it doesn't make sense to buy a different one. The SMDI interface requires SCSI and the 1400 is the newest Mac...

    Powerbook 1400 Serial MIDI switching

    Thanks for attaching it, I was able to get it over to the 1400 in a round-about way. Might be worth uploading the contents of that disk somewhere else at some point. I've tried Micrologic Fun, it didn't detect the Biport. I used the Reset Serial program and I assume that it worked, it didn't...

    Powerbook 1400 Serial MIDI switching

    Thanks, but it looks like Jagshouse also no longer has anonymous FTP login and I can't download it. I'll give it a try, the Biport is an intelligent device so I'm not sure how it will react. It can be used in standalone mode as a MIDI 2 to 4 thru box and SMTPE timecode reader/writer.

    Powerbook 1400 Serial MIDI switching

However, the 1400 has the switching modem/printer single serial port on the rear, and OMS insists on automatically searching for interfaces rather than allowing the user...

    Powerbook 190cs Audio Port missing

    I have a working PB 190CS which I've put together out of parts from 2 broken machines, both 190CS models. However, the working motherboard is missing the audio jack on the rear and there is no sound from the speaker. The case it it's in has the audio jack punch-out open as if there should have...

    PB 1400 hinge fix?

    I had good luck using Plastruct Plastic Weld on the hinge cover pieces from a parts 1400cs, they had not completely broken and it holds as well as you can expect. I've used it on completely shattered plastic before with good results as well - obviously the thicker the plastic the better to...

    Screen Oddities: 1400c

    Hi, I'm having this exact same issue on a 1400c/133. Has anyone else ever discovered the cause? Seems to be limited to the C models.
